Pittsburgh Pirates at Milwaukee Brewers, Aug 24, 2008 1:05 PM CDT
Paul Maholm's pretty good. Lucky for us, CC Sabathia is even better.
Game time is 1:05 CT, and here's the BR Game Preview.
Go Brewers!

the big question
What is the record for players on their bobblehead day?

Sooooooo...
6 pitch first inning = 54 pitch CG?

Bloop single
dangerous with 2 outs and the runner going on contact. Hopefully CC can get Rivas here.

Cubs game
does anyone know what the delay was? There is no score and the game was scheduled for a 1:00 start but the first inning just ended.

Cubs started at 1:20
They’re right on schedule.

CC
doesn’t look like he has his best stuff today. Not really pounding the strike zone.

maybe he was up late
watching the Redeem Team win gold.

He was wearing a Spain hat while doing it to repay Lebron.

Don't worry Rickie
has lots of potential, really, he does, it will show up…. sometime… really, be patient, he has only had 3 years, really he’ll be good. Those K’s don’t mean a thing or the bobbled balls, he will be awesome really….

That’s a “highschool social studies teacher” quality joke there. Just above the “drunk perpetually unemployed uncle” category, though it’s not blue enough to qualify.

I wonder
if anyone’s ever suggested to Weeks that he might benefit from a longer/heavier bat. I know it will mess with his timing a bit but he doesn’t keep the bat in the hitting zone very long and seems to pop a lot of balls up off the end of the bat.
